Do you need Volunteers in your garden? Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy has 60 volunteers who would like to help in November/December

Hi Growing Priders, Eric Hernandez from Neighborspace forwarded this great opportunity for us to connect with a local High School and build some relationships.

Hope all is going well.

Below's the email: 

I had a call earlier today from the Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy located at 2421 W. Division. They were inquiring about some volunteer opportunities in the area and noticed a NeighborSpace sign at one of the gardens. This is a larger group and they are offering to provide up to 60 students on multiple dates in November and early December. What are your thoughts about reaching out to the Growing Pride folks to see if they'd like to coordinate this opportunity with their community garden network? I am not too familiar with Growing Pride but I do remember you mentioning this group in past conversations. This school is in the Humboldt Park area and I think it might be a good recurring connection. Here's the contact information if you'd like to follow up with them directly and determine logistics.
